Maude Granger,

Another large audience greeted this
charming actress last night at the Grand
Opera House. The city of Butte has seen
many representations of Dumas great
play Of Camille" but it remains for Miss
Granger to show that interesting character
in it's full force of dramatic light. The
necessary light and shade which this most
difficult role requires gives Miss Granger
ample opportunity to display her peculiar
genius. The little touches OF pathos, charm
ing bits Of comedy and grand work in the
fourth act with Armand, and the final
death scene-a most realistic piece of work
were triumphs of the players art. The
company ave excellent support. Mr.. Ger
maine was an ideal Armand Duval; Mr..
Traviss, as De Varville, gave a good inter-
probation of the part. while Mr.. Mestayer,
M. Duval, and Mr.. Friend. as CASTOR,
we're excellent. Miss Brooks was an anus.
ing Madame Prudence, and Miss Hamilton
a pretty Nichette. The audience was very
la wish in applause. There were calls at the
OF all acts. and d double call af' er the
act for Miss Granger and Mr.. Ger
maine.
Tonight will be presented 'Frou Frou,"
a play that ran 100 nights at Days Thea
tire, New York. The sale OF seats is already
and we bespeak u brilliant audience.

Fooled By a Prest,digitafor.

A curious incident, which resulted
fatally to dog, occurred at an Indian
wigwam near Lewiston, /. T., the other
day between Prof. McAllister, the ma
gician. and the noble redskins. The
Indians had small dog that the pro-
fessor took quite fancy to. and he
made himself quite familiar with the
brute by patting and petting him. He
asked the Indians how much they
would take for him. to which they re-
piled that they did not want to sell
him. The professor said "him very
valuable dog" at the same time rub
bling him down the back to his tail
length, at each stroke taking a handful
of money from the end of his tail, also
from his mouth, ears and nose. At
these strange proceedings the Indians
stood in awe and establishment After
the professor left their premises they
took the dog down to the river bank
and killed and dissected him. But to
their great chagrin they found that the
professor had MIXED him of Ill The

Good Fences on the Farm.

Many an animal becomes breachy
because of the carelessaess of the
farmer in looking after his fences. A
board gets loose or broken, and this
not having been attended to at once,
the animal gets out of the inclosure.
Having once done this the beast is more
apt to try again. and finally even a
good strong fence will not restrain it
The cheapest and best way is to build
a good fence in the beginning. and then
see that it is kept in good repair. so
none of the stock will be tempted to get
over it or break i, down. Animals kept
in lots surrounded by good fences are
not likely to become unruly. and if one
should be obtained that has acquired
this habit, it will be found better to dis
pose of it, lest it not only prove q
source of constant annoyance. but also
be the means of making others in his

CULTIVATION OF CROPS.
How Thorough Stirring Of the Soil Affect
the GrowiaE Plants.

How Thorough Stirring OF the Soil Affects
the Growing Plants.
After seed has come up, the frequent
stirring of the soil will prove beneficial
1t is not generally necessary to caution
any one against stirring the soil too
frequently. still this may. not impos-
sibly. be sometimes overdone. at least
as regarded from financial point OF
view. Following rain, and after the
land is dried sufficiently to be in good
working condition. is the best possible
time for giving the soil thorough stir
ring; for then it will be left in fresh,
lively condition, that will give the
growing crop surprising start.
1t may be well to note here that it is
not profitable to stir the soil when it is
too wet, or to hoe crops when they arc
dripping with water. as some people
do; even cabbages. celery and turnips
are not benefited, if indeed they escape
serious injury. under such treatment
In cultivating crops of any descrip-
ton. it is necessary to bear in mind
that. when they are young and grow
ing rapidly. it will be proper to
cultivate deeper and /. nearer to the
plants than at later stage. when
growth is not SO rapid. At the later
stage such active cultivation would
have q tendency to ripen of the crop.
rather than promote its growth.
During dry season. or a period of
extended drought the more frequently
the soil is stirred around 3 growing
crop the better. as the loosening up Of
the surface soil will draw the moisture
from below upwards, within reach Of
the feeding roots Of the plants, and
thus enable them to absorb il.
In the case Of any crop planted in
rows. it is a good plan to stir the soil
and cut down the weeds, Immediately
after the plants come up. in the follow
ing manner: Take an ordinary har-
row and remove the front tooth; then
drive along each row of plants, keep
ing it exactly between the horses and
central to the harrow. This harrow
ing will not disturb them in the least.
and just at this stage will promote
their growth surprisingly. The
weeds, of course, will not be exter-
entirely; but their first early
growth viii be efectually destroyed,
and they will more easily be kept un-
der during The rest of the season.
Parasitic insects and vegetable para
sites Ito which latter class belong
smut. blight mildew, etc. cause
heavy losses and disappointments to
all cultivators of the land both ON
farms and in gardens. The more
thrifty the habit and condition of the
plants. the less win they be liable to
such ravages- Thorough and constant
cultivation disturbs and destroys, thu
arve, reinforces the plant, and en-
ables it to Withstand parasitic attacks.
